fix(security): Add integrity verification before chmod +x in btrace-perfetto skill

[fix-it-felix-sentry]

Summary

This PR addresses a security finding where a file is downloaded and immediately made executable without verification.

Changes

• Added validation to verify the downloaded trace_processor file is a valid executable before making it executable
• Check file exists and has non-zero size using [[ -s ]]
• Verify file type is executable using file command
• Remove file and exit with error if validation fails
• Only apply chmod +x after successful verification

Security Context

The original code pattern (curl ... && chmod +x) was flagged as a security risk because it could potentially execute malicious or corrupted downloads. While the download is from a trusted HTTPS source (get.perfetto.dev), adding integrity verification is a security best practice that aligns with OWASP guidelines for Software and Data Integrity.

• CWE-494: Download of Code Without Integrity Check

Testing

This change affects documentation in a Claude Code skill file. The validation logic follows standard bash practices and will properly verify downloaded executables before making them executable.

Fragile file check may reject valid executables

Medium Severity

The file ... | grep -q "executable" check is unreliable because get.perfetto.dev/trace_processor serves a Python wrapper script, not a native binary. The file command's inclusion of "executable" in its output for scripts depends on the system's file version and magic database — some implementations report shebanged scripts as "Python script, ASCII text" without the word "executable". Additionally, if Perfetto ever changes to serving native PIE ELF binaries, older Linux file versions (< 5.36) report them as "shared object" without "executable". In either case, the validation incorrectly deletes the valid download and exits with an error, breaking the entire workflow.
